Hello:) is it true that the oceanic plate always sub ducts under the continental plate?

Geography
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust because it is made of basaltic rock. Basaltic rock is denser than silicate rocks which make up continental crust.

For this reason, it can be said that the continental crust is more 'buoyant' than the oceanic crust. Thus, when the two crusts meet at a subduction zone and collide, one of them has to give way. The denser crust ends up subducting (giong underneath) the less dense crust, and the continental crust gets pushed up to form mountain ranges like the Andes or the Rockies.

Explain how these geological processes and interactions have changed Earth's surface through the years. Be sure to use evidence
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The geological process and interactions like earthquakes, volcanic eruption, cyclone etc, are responsible for the changes because these are very fast and sudden.

Explanation:

It is 4.5 billion years that Earth has been formed and there have been changes since then. Earthquakes, volcanic eruption, cyclone etc, are some of the geological process and interactions are the reasons for change in earth's surface. An earthquake usually split or divide the surface into many pieces in a very few seconds. While lava erupted from a volcano makes the land fertile by spreading around within minutes whereas a day of rainfall can lead to a flood in the neighborhoods and results in many losses.
